The boiler rooms are large, red, and hot, as are many of the Stokers who work here. Often it's considered smart not to wear tight or heavy layers, since one could easily sweat to death in these places...

Darkwater - October 21, 2007 11:57 PM (GMT)

Mike looks up at the figure, his torch in one hand and his knife in the other, flicking the torch on to point the beam up

"Youll be Sergio then? Hows things in the undead world?"

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 12:02 AM (GMT)

The figure cackled once again, Looking down towards the group below. The Clackling bellowed from far above, Extending actually up into the Smokestack, which meant climbing a lot of stairs...

"ONCE AGAIN! I BRING PAAAAIN!"

The figure bellowed, as the Boiler room began to shake a little and the floor seem to bubble...

"Right....guess you arnt one for conversation then...."

He jumps as the floor starts to bubble, swearing loudly in pretty much every language hes ever learned to swear in ((You learn a few working on the cruises)) and jumps for the stairs, making his way up toward sergio

"Someone shoot the bastard!"

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 12:16 AM (GMT)

"He's too far up!" Calvin called as he too jumped on the stairs, Jose and Liam being the last to get on just before the whole floor turned into large Spikes that Spurted blood.

"I BRING FLAAAAAMES!!!!"

Soon, the Boilers in Boiler Room Five began to shake as well...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 12:20 AM (GMT)

"Holy sweet mother of god...."

He belts up the stairs as fast as he can move, hoping to get in range of sergio before he does anything worse, keeping his eyes on the boilers as he moves

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 12:28 AM (GMT)

The boiler doors shot open and spires of flames that are best described as Flame dragons shot out and began to head up the stairs, merging into one and flying up the stairs at the group, heading first for Jose...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 12:30 AM (GMT)

"JOSE! DOWN!"

He whips his torch round to aim the beam of light at the dragon, hoping to the gods that his knife has rested enough

"Cmon....Cmon!"

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 12:35 AM (GMT)

Jose runs faster as the flame comes until he trips, falling down just in time to miss it. Liam ducks as well, as does Calvin as the light hits the Dragoon and the knife twitches but doesn't get up...

"TOSS IT FOR GOD SAKES!" Liam yells...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 12:37 AM (GMT)

"Fine! Fucking hell!"

He pulls back and hurls the knife with all his might at the dragon, keeping the torch beam on it

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 12:39 AM (GMT)

The knife spins in the air and lands dead center between the eyes of the Dragoon, causing it to hiss wildly at the pain of the knife beginning to seep the energy from it, the Knife glowing orange as flame from the Dragoon seeps into it... (Dragoon -10)

"That....is sodding cool! But now im unarmed.....Bugger...."

He looks around for something else to improvise with while his knife is otherwise engaged

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 01:36 AM (GMT)

Call it luck or call it me being too much of a good bastard, but low and behold... at the next landing in stairs is a Fire-hose, a Fire Axe, and a Fire Extinguisher...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 01:38 AM (GMT)

"Calvin! Jose! Wire into that hose! Lets put this bastard out!"

He grabs the axe, sliding it into the back of his belt before snatching up the extinguisher and pulling the pin, taking aim and firing a burst of whatever it contains at the Dragoon

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 01:45 AM (GMT)

Jose and Calvin scrambled up beneath the Dragoon, as did Liam, crawling along the stairs to get up. The Dragoon hissed wildly though as the Foam from the Fire Extinguisher made quite the Dent in the Creature... (Dragoon -20)

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 01:47 AM (GMT)

"Yeah! How do ya like that?"

He gives it another jet of foam, trying to keep it occupied so his companions can get to the fire hose and/or safety

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 01:51 AM (GMT)

The Dragoon moves to dodge the spray of foam this time, wrapping around the stairs and going underneath, while ose and the rest continue to crawl up...

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 01:56 AM (GMT)

He leans over the other side of the stairs, hoping to spray the creature as it passes the other side. Or at least hoping to get an angle on it

Michael couldn't get a good aim on it, as the rest of his crew managed to reach the landing and began to grab the hose, prepping it...

Survivors:Michael: 82/100Calvin: 100/100Liam: 100/100Jose: 80/100

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 02:09 AM (GMT)

He fires off a blast of foam anyway, perhaps more for effect than anything else

"Cmere you! For a creature made out of fire your a bit of a coward arnt ya!"

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:15 AM (GMT)

The foam missed the dragoon as it came over to the other side of the stairwell, aiming to go after Michael...

...but getting cut off by a jetstream of water from the Fire hose, being manned by Calvin, and looking ready to get lifted off the ground from the pressure in the hose... (Dragoon -18)

Survivors:Michael: 82/100Calvin: 100/100Liam: 100/100Jose: 80/100

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 02:17 AM (GMT)

"Good save!"

He ducks the flailing dragoon and fires a wide arc of foam, hoping that between him and the hose the creature has no option but to get covered in foam and or water. Which would hopefully lead to its downfall

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:21 AM (GMT)

The Creature flailed endlessly until it disappeared in the water and foam, the sound of the knife clinking on the stairs easily heard. along with Loudmouth again... (Dragoon Killed)

"I BRING COOOOLD!!!!"

Soon, the sound of rushing water from above the smokestack could be heard...

Survivors:Michael: 82/100Calvin: 100/100Liam: 100/100Jose: 80/100

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 02:23 AM (GMT)

Mike tosses the now near empty extinguisher and grabs his knife off the stairs, taking a tight hold of the banister as he resumes his ascent

"Keep a hold! TIGHT! If thats what i think it is it could well sweep you right off the stairs!"

He shouts back to his friends

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:30 AM (GMT)

The others grab the banister as well, but Michael feels soemthing much different, and can feel it from the moment he grabbed the knife again. It was like a surge of energy, rushing through his body. An energy beyond words, something that simply cannot be explained. A feeling of being hot, cold, wet, dry, and all other feelings all at once. It surged through him so quickly it was almsot too much to handle, being able to jsut hang onto it. There also seemed to come a sharp pain quickly, that diminished as well as Michael's arm temporarily faded from view and came back...

The Knife, too, seemed to be experiencing the same thing. The eyes of the small skulls on it glowing both orange and white, and an aura of white and orange glowing around the blade... for the blade.... had become one with the master...

He looks at the knife in utter confusion, the buzz from the bonding still running through him. He watches the lightshow and the vanishing trick his arm just pulled before he refirms his grip on the banister and continues his way up

I dont know what the hell that was....But what doesnt kill you....

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:40 AM (GMT)

'Makes you stronger...' Came a voice in Michael's head, the voice of none other than the knife itself. But before Michael could reach, from above came what looked like the Fire Dragoon, only now made of Water, and splitting off into a shloom of water, causing anyone not held on tight enough to easily slip off into the spikes below...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 02:44 AM (GMT)

Mike almost fell. Hearing a voice in your head that you werent expecting tends to be a bit of a shock, that combined with the crushing wave of (knowing my luck) ice cold water hitting him caused him to slip a few stairs down before he manages to regain his footing and continue up the stairs. Taking aim at the new threat with his knife and getting ready to throw

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:47 AM (GMT)

The New threat is actually just the water alone, Rushing from above at such a high speed that it is almsot impossible to hold on...

As demonstrated by Liam, who tried to take a step next to Michael and slipped, losing his footing and grip and sliding off the edge from the rushing water...

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 02:52 AM (GMT)

"NO!"

Mike practicly throws himself over the edge, holding on with one hand and throwing out his other to try and grab Liam, hoping to god above he manages to not only grab Liam but manages to keep his own balance too

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 02:57 AM (GMT)

As Michael threw himself to grab Liam, something else happened to prevent both from falling into the spikes below. The Knife Michael had launched out of his pocket and latched itself into the floor, which, effectively, latched Michael from falling as he grabbed onto Liam's arm...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 12:00 PM (GMT)

Mike finds little time to marvel at the...for lack of a better description....quick thinking of his knife. He instead takes both hands off the rail and grabs Liam, pulling him back up and over the rail

"Watch your step there Uncle"

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 08:43 PM (GMT)

Liam clutched on for dear life as the water continued to pound for what seemed forever, until it slowly began to stop...

"Everyone good?"

He asks, yanking his blade out the floor and looking around, already with his foot on the next step up

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 10:21 PM (GMT)

As Michael went to take the next step, the step was ripped out from underneath him, causing him to nearly fall. From below, the low and dumb laughter of a familiar voice came...

"You Hurt..."

"ARISE MY BROTHER! ON THIS UNHOLY NIGHT, I SHALL MAKE YOU MY OWN!!"

"Oh you can fuck right off!"

He looks down, looking around for Georgio and firmly intending to kill him stone dead....well....deader than he did last time

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 10:38 PM (GMT)

Michael need not wait long, as the catwalks of the Boiler room suddenly shook wildly, the most force coming from behind Michael. When Michael turned, though, he found Georgy holding Liam up in the air by the Neck, smiling madly...

Bosses:Sergio: 150/150Georgy: 120/120The Calypso: Immortal

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 10:46 PM (GMT)

And he knew exactly what to do, he raised his knife and flicked it at Georgy aiming the throw to put the blade into the shoulder of the arm Georgy had Liam with, concentrating on that spot as he pulls the axe from his belt and follows the knife in, bringing the weapon in a downward sweep at his head

Border Walker - October 22, 2007 10:55 PM (GMT)

The knife hit with a direct hit, but from a perspective view, seemed to do nothing but make Georgy wince (Georgy -12). The second Attack, though, Georgy grabbed with his bare hands, catching the blade of the Axe in his free hand and smiling at Michael and laughing quietly...

Darkwater - October 22, 2007 10:59 PM (GMT)

"What the fuck?"

He yanks the axe back, hoping to take a few fingers with it before he lashes out with a kick to the groin, still hoping to make him drop Liam
